The world is changing fast, and politics are evolving with them. Throughout history, times of change have been marked by great leaders shifting the world for the better. Our world today is in crisis. There is a rising need for a new generation of politicians to transform the world, and they seem to appear with a unique style for thinking and behaving. Emmanuel Macron, President of France, could very well be a prototype for a new wave of politicians.
In Macron Unveiled, Alain Lefebvre examines Macron’s first four years as France’s President and analyzes his personality, approach for solving problems, sources of inspiration, mistakes, difficulties, and the impact he has made in France, Europe, and worldwide. Macron Unveiled explains the French political perspective to international audiences, bringing careful analysis and historical context to Macron’s time in office. Lefebvre presents the information in a way that allows readers to gain a better understanding of who Macron is as a man, a leader, and a prototype for the next generation of politicians.

Labour code, vocational training, unemployment insurance, apprenticeship, railways, prisons, or pensions, the social reforms undertaken by President Macron have one thing in common: they are Nordic-inspired, an originality in French political history. But how well do the President’s teams understand the Nordic systems, the reasons for their success, and their limitations? This is the challenge of the five-year term. This book is an invitation to travel to the Nordic countries, particularly to Sweden, to discover how these social and cultural issues have been tackled with pragmatism and with varying degrees of success, to draw lessons for our country, and to learn where Emmanuel Macron could take us.
High unemployment, job insecurity, integration breakdown, and inequality between men and women all seem to combine to lower the morale of the French. Drawn into globalization, they doubt themselves, their policies, and their social model instead of building a modern European social model with EU countries. However, there is a model in Europe that is both competitive and supportive, whose performance is all the more impressive because it nurtures real social cohesion: that of the Nordic countries.
